Have you heard about the Wounded Warrior Project?

The Wounded Warrior Project is a wonderful agency that helps our men and women returning from war that are disabled by their wounds. Their recent push is legistlation for our Veterans with traumatic brain injuries. My hope and prayer is that veterans can receive the services that they require to return back to normal life. Below is a bill I copied from Woundedwarriorproject.org. If it is in your heart to do so, please ask your elected officials on this election day to pass this bill for our Wounded Heros. Thank you.
